lurkers.... on the boards

[lwmcc]

I've gotten a greater percentage of PMs lately asking for advice/study sources on specific tests and equate that with the Specific Feedback Section going private. I don't mind helping, and since I've gotten a few questions on the same tests I can copy from prior answers. I miss being able to point folks to the Specific Feedback section, though...<sigh>

The questions I've gotten haven't been from people who are technically 'lurkers', since they've got logins; hey, I tend to be a 'lurker' myself, since I usually just answer a post if it seems no one else has or if there's more specific info I've got to share than has already been posted.

As to ethics, for the most part I think people are careful to not post specific questions, and no one's contacted me asking for specific info about what's on the test. I've personally only gotten one request from someone offering to pay me to take his math courses for him; once I quit laughing hysterically at the idea of me as a 'math whiz' (So, so NOT!), I promptly said no and explained my personal view of education for the knowledge-gained sake, not just for a piece of 'magic paper'.
